A Night of Dissipation. • During the first two days X spent with Iluyllge* after I had first arrived In the big city, he had told me, among other things, of a moving picture show in town which he said I might hpve a chance to see while there. "It Is free every night In the week except Saturdays and Sundays," he suld.o "anil once you are Inside you would not be apt to be bothered by anyone except when they come to take your order for something to drink. While there is no admission, patrons are expected to eat or drink while en joying the pictures." A day or two later, while walking the streets at night In search for food, I had passed this place and was very much tempted to go In and spend a few hours, particularly as it would perhaps give me an opportunity to buy something to eat, although I was at a loss to know how I was going to ask for what I wanted. While trying to make up my mind whether it was safe for me to go in I walked half a block past the place, and when I turned back again and reached tho entrance with my mind made up that I would take the chance 1 ran full tilt Into a German officer who was just coming out. That settled ail my hankerings for moving pictures that night. "Where you came from, my friend," I figured, "there must be more like you 1 I guess M Is a good alght for walking." The next day, however, in recalling the Incident of the evening before, it seemed to me that I had been rather foolish. What I needed more than anything else at that time was confi dence. Before I could get to the fron tier I would have to confront German soldiers many times, because there were more of them between this city and Holland than in any section of the country through which I had so far traveled. Safety In these conting encies would depend largely upon the calmness I displayed. It wouldn't do to get all excited at the mere sight of a spiked helmet. The Belgians, I had noticed, while careful to obey the orders of the Huns, showed no partic ular fear of them, and It seemed to me the sooner I cultivated the same feeling of Indifference the better I would be able to carry off the part I was playing. For this reason I made up my mind then and there that, officers or no of ficers, I would go to that show that night and sit' It through no matter what happened. While people may think that I had decided unwisely be cause of tiie unnecessary risk Involved In the adventure. It occurred to me (hat perhaps after all that theater was about one of the safest places I could Attend because that waa about the last place Germans would expect to find a fugitive English officer In even if the/ were searching for me. As soon as evening came, therefore, I started out for the the*»re. I fixed myself op as well as possible, i on a fairly decent pair of pants which Huyllger had given me and I used a clean handkerchief as a collar. With my hair brushed up nnd my beard trimmed as neatly as possible with a pair of rusty scissors which I had found In the house, while my ap pearance was not exactly that of a Beau Brummel, I don't think I looked much worse than the overage Belgian. In these'days the average Belgian la very poorly dressed nt best. I can't say I had no misgivings as I made my way to the theatre; cer tainly I was going there more for dis cipline than pleasure, but I had made up my mind that I was going there to see It through. The entrance to the theatre or beer garden, for It was as much one as the other, was on the side of the building and was reached by way of an alley which ran alongside. 'Near the door was a ticket-seller's booth, but as this was one of the free nights there was no one In the booth. I marched slowly down the alley Imitating as best I could the Indiffer ent gait of the Belgians, and when I entered the theater endeavored to act as though I had been there many times before. A hasty survey of the layout of the place was sufficient to enable me to select my seat. It was early and there were not more than half a dozen people in the place at that time, so that I had my choice. There was a raised platform, per haps two feet high, all around the walls of the place except at the end where the stage was located. On this platform tables were arranged and there were tables on the floor proper as well. I decided promptly that the safest place for me was as far back as pos sible, where I would not be In the line of vision of others in back of me. Ac cordingly I slouched over to a table on the platform directly opposite the stage and I took the seat against the wall. The whole place was now In front of me. I could see everything that was going on and everyone who earae In, but no one, except thoso who sat at my own table, would notice me unless they deliberately turned around to look. The place began to fill up rapidly. Every second person who came In the place seemed to mo to be a German soldier, but when they were seated at the tables and I got a chance later on to make a rough count, I found that In all there were not more than a hun dred soldiers in the place and there must have been several hundred civil ians. The first people to sit at my table were a Belgian and his wife. The Bel gian sat next to me and his wife next to him. I was hoping that other civil ians would occupy the remaining two seats at my table, because I did not relish the*T(lca of having to sit through the show with German soldiers within a few feet of me. That would certainly have spoiled my pleasure for the even ing. Every uniform that came In tho door gave me cause to worry until I waa sure it was not'eoming In my direction. I don't suppose there was a single sol dier who came In the door whom I didn't follow to his scat—with my eyes. Just before they lowered the lights, two German officers entered. They stood at the door for a moment look ing the place over. Then they made a beellne in my direction and I must confess my heart started to beat a TB It B«emed Better to Parrot the Belgian. little foster. I hoped that they, would find another scat before they came to my vicinity, but they were getting Dearer and nearer and I realized with a sickening sensation that they were beaded directly for the two seats at my table, and that was indeed tho case. These two seats were in front of the table facing the stage and except when the officers would t>« eating or drink ing their backs wero toward me, and there was considerable consolation in that From my seat I could hare reached right over and touched one of them on his bald bead. It would have been more than a touch, I am afraid, if I could have gotten away with It •afcly. GRAHAM, ft.

Jjjj | Price Llit of Drlnka O'Brien Picked Up at a Free Motion Picture Show la fl Beer Garden. As the officers seated themselves, a waiter came to us with a printed blll-of-fare and program. Fortunately, he waited on the others first and I listened intently to their orders. The officers ordered some light wine, but my Belgian neighbor ordered "Bock" for himself and his wife, which was what I had decided to order anyway, as that was the only thing I could say. Heaven knows I would far rather have ordered something to eat, and I was afraid to tako a chance at the pronun ciation of the dishes It set forth. There were a number of drinks listed which I might safely enough have or dered. For instance, I noticed "Lemon Squash, 1.60," "Ginger Qeer, I.—" "Sparkling Dry Ginger Ale, 1.— * "Appolinaris, 1. —," and "Hchweppes Soda, 0.80," but It occurred to me that the mere fact that I selected some thing that was listed in English might attract attention to me and something in my pronunciation might give fur ther cause for suspicion. It seemed better to parrot the Bel gian and order "Bock" and that was what I decided to do. One item on the bill of fare tantn -11 zed me considerably. Although It was listed among the "Prlzzen der drnnken," which I took to mean "Prices of drinks," it sounded very much to me like something to eat, and Heaven kndNvs I would rather have had one honest mouthful of food than all the drinks In the world. The Item I refer to was "Dubbel Oer steln de Flesch (Mlchaux)." A doable portion of anything would have been mighty welcome to me, but I would have been content with a single "ger sten" If I had only had the courage to ask for it. To keep myself as composed as pos sible I devoted a lot of attention to that blll-of-fare, and I think by the time the waiter came around I almost knew it by heart. One driuk that al most made me laugh aloud was listed as "Lemonades gazi-uses," but I might us Well have Introduced myself to the German officers by niy right nume and rank as attempt to pronounce it. When the waiter came to me, there fore, I said "Bock" as casually as I could, and .X felt somewhat relieved that I had gotten through that part of the ordeal so easily. White toe waiter was away I iuid a chance to examine the blll-of-fare and I observed that a gluxs of beer cost 80 centime*. Tlie smallest change I hart was a two-mark paper bill. Apparently the Oeminn odicers were similarly fixed unci when they offered their bill to the waiter, he handod It bock to them with a remark which I took to mean that he couldn't muke change. Right there I was In a quandary. To offer him my bill after he had Just told the officers he didn't have chnngo would have seemed strange, and yet I couldn't explain to him that I was tn the ume boat and he would have to come to me again later. Thu only thing to do, therefore, was to offer him the bill a* though I hadn't heard or noticed what had happened with the Germans, and I did so. lie Mild the same thing to me as be had *ald to the officer*, perhaps a little more sharply, and gave me back the bill. Later on, he returned to the table with a handful of change and we closed the transaction. I gave him 25 centimes a* a tip—l had never yet been to a place where it was necefWary to talk to do that. During my first half boar In that theatre, to *ay I was on pin* and needle* Is to express my feelings mildly. The troth of the matter 1* I wa* never so uneasy In my life. Every mlnuto seemed like on hour, and a dozen times I was on the point of get ting up and leaving. There were al together too many soldier* In the place to salt me, and when the German of ficers seated themselves right at my table I thought that was about all I could *tand. A* It was, however, the lights went out shortly afterwards and In the dark I felt considerably easier. After the flr*t picture, when the lights went up again, I had regained mf composure considerably and I took advantage of the opportunity to study the various types of people In the place. From my seat I had a splendid chance to see them all. At one table there was a German medleal corps of ficer with three llel Cross nurses. That wo* the only time I had ever seen a German nurse, for when I was In the hospital I hod seen only men orderlies. Nurses didn't work so near the first line trenches. The German soldiers at the different tables were very quiet odd 'orderly! They drnnk bock beer and conversed among themselves, but there was no hilarity or rough-housing of any kind. As I sat there, within arm's reach of those German officers and realized what they would have given to know what a chance they had to capture an escaped British officer, I could hardly help smiling to myself, but when I thought of the big risk I was taking, more or less unnecessarily, I began to wonder whether I had not acted fool ishly In undertaking It Nevertheless, the evening passed off uneventfully and when the show was over I mixed with the crowd and dis appeared, feeling very proud of myself and with a good deal more confidence than I had enjoyed at the start. I had passed « night which will live In my life as long us I live. The bill of fare and program and a "throw away" bill advertising the name of the attraction which was to be pre sented the following week which was handed to mo as I came out, I still have and the? are among the most valued souvenirs of my adventure. CHAPTER XV. Observations In a Belgian City. One night shortly before I left this city, our airmen raided the place. I didn't venture odt of the bouse at the time, but the next night I thought I would go out and see what damage had been done. When It became dark I left the house accordingly and mixed with the crowd, which consisted largely of Ger mans. I went from one place to an other to see what our "straffing" had accomplished. Naturally X avoided speaking to anyone. It a man or woman appeared about to speak to me, I just turned ray head and looked or walked away In some other direction. I must huve been taken for an un social sort of Individual a good many times, and If I had encountered the sumo person twice I suppose my con duct might have aroused susplclea. I had a first-class observation of the damage that was really done by our bombs. One bomb had landed very near the main railroad station and If It had been only thirty yards nearer would have Ampletcly demolished It As tho station was undoubtedly out airman's objective I was very much impressed with tho nccuracy of hit aim. It Is hr no rai-ans an easy thing to hit a building from the air when you are going at anywhere from fifty to one hundred miles an hour-and are being shot at from beneath from a dozen different angles—unless, of course, you are taking one of those desperate chances and flying so low that you cannot very well miss your mark and tho Huns can't very well miss you either 1 I walked by the stutlon and mingled with the crowd* which stood In the en/ranees. They puld no more at tention to me than tln-y did to real Bel gians, and tho fact'that tho light* were all out In this city at night made It Impossible anyway for anyone to get as good u look at mo as If It bad been light. During the time that I was In this city I suppose I wondered from one end of It to the other. In one place, where the German staff had Its head quarters, a huge German flag hung from the window, and I think I would hove given ten years of my life to have stolen It. Even If I could have pulled It down, however, It would have been impossible for me to have con cealed It, and to have carried It awuy with me a* n souvenir, therefore would have bocn out of tho question. A* I went «lon* the street one night a lady standing on the corner stopped me and apoko to me. My first Impulse, of course, waa to answer her, explain ing that I could not underatand, but I stopped myself In time, pointed to my ears and mouth and ahook my head, Indicating that I waa deaf and dumb, and ahe nodded and walked on. Incident* of that kind were not unusual, and I waa alwaya In fear that tho Urno would come when aome Inquisitive and auaplcloua German would encounter roe and not be ao eaalljr aatlifled. There are nmny thing* that I aaw In thl» city which, for various renaons, It la impossible for mo to relate until after the war la over. Home of them* I think, will create more aurprlae than tho Incident* I am free to reveal now. It uaed to amuae me a* I went along tho atreeta of thl* town, looking In tho abop windows with German sol dier* at my aide looking at the HUM things, to think how dm I WNI to them and they ha J no way of knowing. I waa quite convinced that If I were discovered my fate would have been death becuuse riot only had the forced passport on me, but I bad been ao many days behind the Oerman lines after I had escaped that they couldn't safely let me live with the Informs' tlon I possessed. One night I walked boldly across a park. I heard footsteps behind me and turning round saw two German s&l-' diers. X slowed up a trifle to let them get ahead of me. It waa rather dark and I got a chance to see what a won derful uniform the German military authorities have picked out The sol diers bod not gone more than a few feet ahead of me when they disap peared In the darkness like one of those melting pictures on the moving picture screen. As I wandered through the streets I frequently glanced In the cafe win dow as I passed. German officers were usually dining there, but they didn't conduct themselves with any thing like the llght-heartedness which characterizes the allied officers In London and Paris. I wus rather sur prfsed at tills because in this part of Belgium they wore much freer than they would have been In Berlin, where, I understand, food Is compar atively scarce and the restrictions are very strict As I have said, my own condition In this city was in some respects worse than It had been when 1 was making my way through the open country. While I had a place to sleep and my clothes were no longer constantly soaking, my opportunities for getting food were considerably less than they had been. Nearly all the time I was half famished, and I decided that I would get out of there at once, since I was entirely through with Iluyllger. My physical condition was greatly Improved. While the lack of food showed Itself on me, I had regained some of my strength, my wounds were healed, and my anklo was stronger, and although my knees were ■till considerably enlargod, I felt that t was in better shape than I had been at any time since my leap from the train, und I was ready to go through whatever was In store for me.

A. huta in the seven states of the Southeastern campa dur ing the fiscal year July 1, 1917, to Jniy 1, 191S, according to the annual re port just issued here. In other worda, soldiers in the South eastern cantonments to the number of 88,866,980 men wrote letters in the "Y" army and navy huts, read litera ture there and joined in the religious services and entertainments held In the Red Triangle bulldlnga which dot military reservations in Georgia/ Ala bama, Tennessee, the Carollnaa, Mis sissippi and Florida. It is easy to Imagine the mountains of stationery the Y. M. C. A provided in the camps of the Southeast when It Is slated that soldiers wrote 32,- 889,002 letters in the "Y" huts. The Red Triangle workers also made out 12,468,744 worth of money orders for the soldiers, most of the amount be ing sent home to relatives. Educational Work Featured The "Y" also provided 4,006 educa tional lectures with a soldier attend ance of 1,291,243. The educational classes of various kinds aggregated 64,813 and the attendance waa 978,- 046. Books circulated by the Y. M. C. A. numbered 764,710 and educational clubs formed among the men were 649. Physical activities when figured in statistics amounted to an amating amount.

STANDARD BREEDS OF GEESE Fowls Should Be Selected for 8 fata, Prolificacy and Vitality—Tou louse la Largest (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) In order to obtain bent remits in raising geese they should be selected for sice, prolificacy, and vitality. Six breeds of geese hare been admitted |to the American standard of perfec tion, namely Toulouse, Embden, Chi nese, African, Wild or Canadian, and Egyptian. In addition to the stand ard breeds there la the so-called Mon grel goose, which Is a hybrid made by crosalng one of these varletlea, or the common goose, with wild geese. Crosses of the varieties of geeae, espe cially of the Toulouse and Embden, are occasionally made, bat without any apparent gain. The Toulouse, Emb den, Chinese, and African are easily the most popular breeds of geese In this country, the first two greatly lead ing the other breeds. All economic breeds of geese are kept primarily for the production of flesh and feathers; and although their eggs are occasion ally used for culinary purposes on the farm, there Is no demand for them for food purposes In the markets. The Toulouse, the largest of the standard breeds of geone, Is a good layer, producing from 20 to 80 eggs a year. Is docile, grows rapidly, and makes a good ma>ket bird. However, Ita dark plnfeathcrs make It a slightly less attractive market goose than the Embden. The Embden, a large white goose, slightly smaller and with somewhat longer legs than the Toulouse, Is only a fair layer and is usually less prolific than the Toulouse. This breed has white pin feathers, Is a rapid grow er, and matures early, i The African, a gray goose with a distinct, brown shade, about the size of the Embden, Is a good layer and makes a good market gooae, although it has the objectionable dark pin feathers. It Is a rapid grower and matures early. There are two standard varletlea ■of Chinese geese, the Ilrown and the White. Both varieties mature early and are said to be prolific layers and rapid growers, but ahy and rather dlfr flrult to handle.
